How Pharma Pensions in Ireland Are Evolving

Many pharma professionals enjoy competitive salaries and benefits, but pension arrangements can vary significantly between companies. Whether you’re working for a multinational or a mid-sized firm, it’s essential to:

  • Understand the type of pension scheme you’re enrolled in (Defined Benefit vs. Defined Contribution)

  • Assess whether your current contributions will meet your retirement goals

  • Explore options for consolidating multiple pensions from past roles

Some well-known pharma companies in Ireland include AbbVie, Pfizer, Baxter, GSK, and MSD, with locations across Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Castlebar. These companies offer a variety of pension schemes, but it’s vital to make sure your pension planning aligns with your long-term goals.
